Is there a PulseAudio server running at your distribution?

Does playing multiple audio streams in parallel work for sound
applications with an ALSA backend?

Kind regards,

Frank

---------------------

No there is no Pulse audio server running.
Since I was totally unfamiliar with pulse audio,
it was the last (bottom-most) option to select from
the list of audio devices inthe VM vonfig menu.
So I thought I would select it,  since none of the other options
were working (i.e. I was getting stuck at 0%).

Playing multiple streams in parallel does work currently
with the audio drivers I currently have in the host OS. To wit:
# lsmod | grep -i alsa
# lsmod | grep -i oss

snd_seq_midi_event 14913 1 snd_seq_oss
